Chapter 678 Ancient Empire Legion

Refugees come to live and have a place to stay. Although some of them give up for the sake of the ruins, most of them can no longer stand the tossing.

In addition to the refugees, there are many people who come to Hamlet. They carry their own ideas and plunge into the new world.

"You... stop first."

The soldiers at the checkpoint stopped a very suspicious guy. Most of his body was wrapped in rags like sheets, even his head was in it, and only a little bit of his eyes were exposed.

Although refugees like to wrap themselves in rags, what really attracts attention is the movement from his body when he walks.

It was the sound of chains colliding. They were familiar with this and instantly aroused suspicion. They raised their hands to signal.

"Come over here first, don't be nervous, we are just doing a simple hearing."

The words did not irritate the man, but the soldiers were already prepared to guard against him in their hearts, and they would control him if he made trouble.

The man seemed to realize that he was surrounded, but he did not resist fiercely. Instead, he sighed and walked aside.

"Do you have any weapons?"

"No." The man took the initiative to lift the rag wrapped around himself and turned it into a cloak, revealing his naked upper body in front, with dark ragged shorts underneath and bare feet.

This outfit can be seen at a glance that he has no weapons, but the strange thing about this man is that he is wrapped in chains, with several unique locks hanging in it, and shackles on his wrists. No one knows what the situation is.

He can see an exaggerated scar on his head that occupies half of his head, leaving only half of his hair loose. No one knows what caused it, but you can vaguely see a pattern.

You want to say that some fierce criminal escaped... But looking at the stubble face, his cheeks are sunken, his lips are a little cracked, and both the evasive eyes and the hunched body are timid and decadent.

He is really a weirdo... But they have seen a lot of them during this period of time. Except for the slight surprise at the beginning, they soon reacted.

"Why are you here? Where are you from? What are you doing in Hamlet?"

One of them just opened his mouth and asked a question when his attention was attracted by some sudden commotion on the old road ahead.

Even the man couldn't help but look back and found that a team of ten people was walking on the old road.

All the members wore a full set of ancient empire armor, metal masks, and cloaks, and the leader's helmet had red mane.

These people were fully armed, each holding a large black shield and a special-shaped sword on their waist.

These people were different from the empire in terms of equipment style and other aspects, and it was even more difficult to believe that this team seemed to have walked over.

Anyone who has worn full body armor knows that it is not suitable for a long time, and the shield in their hands is usually transported in pack horses or caravans, or stored in warehouses, and worn in wartime.

Who can wear armor and march for so long?

This can't be a normal person.

But these people seemed to have completely ignored other people and walked on their own.

This team formed a 3×3 square formation, and there was a captain walking in front. They stepped out in a uniform pace. Although there were only a few people, they were like a legion.

Hamlet's soldiers had all undergone military training. How could they not see that these people's cooperation was almost a whole, and they were not easy to mess with at first glance.

Wherever the legion went, no one wanted to stop it. The people who gathered here automatically separated, making it more prominent.

But those soldiers did not dare to let go, but firmly stopped at the checkpoint and shouted.

"Stop! This is Hamlet, explain your purpose."

"Ha!" The legion stopped and shouted loudly, and actually raised the shield to the soldiers and drew the short blade from the waist.

For a while, more than a dozen rifles were aimed at the shoulders, and the black muzzles were pointed at the legion. At the same time, someone turned around and ran back to call for help.

If this was weak, the soldiers would not think about guarding this place. This is Hamlet, and they must be stronger!

The two sides were in a standoff for a while, which made the atmosphere of the whole environment heavy, as if a war was about to break out.

Those who were queuing to enter the city also hurried away from here, otherwise they would be unlucky if they were accidentally injured.

Some of them looked over with interest and began to discuss which side was stronger.

Those soldiers were also a little undecided about whether to fight or not.

At this time, several people came from the back and shouted to stop the imminent battle.

"Don't fight! Don't fight!"

The one who shouted was the person in charge of entrance and exit management. He had no power to command the soldiers, but he could inform them of policy changes above.

After whispering for a while, the team leader asked the soldiers to withdraw and replace them with these people to take over.

"There are no goods and no muskets. Go, go, go." The person in charge came up and took a simple look and waved to let the legion go.

The leader of the legion didn't say a word, but just raised his hand and waved and continued to move forward. The teammates behind him also put away the offensive posture and continued to march silently.

The person in charge shouted loudly, emphasizing the rules to attract everyone's attention again and cover up the commotion just now.

"Don't worry! We Hamlet follow the rules. As long as you don't bring any contraband, you can enter..."

"Everyone, disperse."

"Line up, line up, don't block the people behind you if you don't want to enter."

Other staff members also stepped forward and shouted to distract everyone, while the person in charge turned around and ran back to report something.

The farce was put down, causing some people who wanted to watch the fun to complain in a low voice, but they didn't dare to really provoke anything.

"You go over there."

The soldier put down his musket and returned here. He looked at the chained man again without saying any more nonsense, but let him go directly.

If it were before, they wouldn't be able to control so much. Such suspicious people would definitely need to be investigated in more detail, or they might be banned from entering.

But now the higher-ups have issued instructions not to irritate some special guys when they meet them. As long as they don't violate the rules, don't worry about them, so they don't embarrass him.

The other person also seemed to understand something and didn't say much more, but he still emphasized one sentence.

"Remember that Hamlet is different from other places. Don't make trouble, otherwise no one can save you."

The weirdo was a little surprised to hear that he passed so easily. He was ready to be expelled. After all, he couldn't even enter a city like Totnes, which is famous for its openness.

Although it was also because of my special status, I was afraid of being exposed and hunted down by the church when I went to those places.

"Thank you." The man put on the rag again without much hesitation, and walked towards the prosperous Hamlet step by step, dragging his body covered in chains.

The appearance of Legion was an unceremonious display of its strength, which aroused the attention of Hamlet's senior management, and even caused concerns about the management of extraordinary beings. They appeared in the office to discuss.

"What's going on with those guys? I don't feel like they're human."

"Their outfits look like ancient empires."

"The ancient empire has been gone for hundreds of years, and now only a small country is left with its name."

"That is, if the people of Romulus want to come over, they will come by boat. Who will come over wearing armor?"

"The most important thing is that those guys are very strong..."

It is true that Baldwin is a legendary strongman, but he has been a king in another place since he was a child. After the accident, he began to wander and had no contact with the supernatural world, so he did not understand the extraordinary people on this continent.

William was even more worried about whether there would be any problems if he let it in. At least he had to understand its origin and purpose before he could arrange a plan.

Before the discussion here came to a conclusion, Greendale came in with someone else.

"Katherine may know something about the situation, so don't worry about it yet."

Greendale didn't think why Lance paid so much attention to the news about the supernatural world before. He only found a few consultants. After Tamara ran away, he turned around and found Amanda.

She thought he was easy to talk to, but when the extraordinary people poured into Hamlet, she realized the importance of extraordinary intelligence. The lord's arrangements were forward-looking, and it seemed that he had always intended to collect relevant information.

If Amanda were here I'm afraid she could say something, but it's a pity that people are on the front lines now.

So she could only find Catherine who was going to work as an antique expert in New Town.

As an apprentice of a bald wizard, even if I don't know much about it, I have heard about it.

After hearing about those situations, he talked about what he knew.

"The Legion of the Ancient Empire is a rumor that has been circulating for hundreds of years. People can only tell that it is related to the Ancient Empire from the equipment on their bodies.

But there is no doubt that their existence is even longer than that of the ancient empire. Even though the ancient empire has long since disappeared, they are still active on the continent.

We can't tell whether it's the same person underneath those armors, or whether different people put on those armors and fight.

However, their goals are very clear. All situations related to the Necromancer will cause them to appear, and they seem to be constantly looking for something.

So some people speculated whether this team was still performing some of the last missions of the ancient empire and keeping some secrets.

Some people also think that they have never believed in the destruction of the empire, so they want to find a necromancer to resurrect the ancient empire army to cause a natural disaster of the undead..."

Catherine's understanding of this aspect is only very basic, and she doesn't know much information. It's more like integrating some legends she has heard.

So at the end, Catherine added one sentence to avoid misjudgment due to her own words.

"These are all legends. I didn't expect the Legion to really exist. There may be some mistakes."

However, this information also gave them a reference. It is very likely that this legion came for the undead in the ruins.

"Just guide them to the ruins."

"Find someone to inform Alhazred to explain the situation. Maybe he knows something different."

"Now let's stabilize the situation first, and we'll do the rest after the lord comes back."

A few people discussed it and decided not to provoke the Legion, but to help them find the ruins directly.

None of you here are stupid. Anyone who uses their brains knows that the church cannot allow the Legion to exist, but it has appeared now and has existed for so many years.

The reason, of course, cannot be that the church feels that the undead killed by the legion are all doing great work. On the contrary, this kind of thing is a slap in the face of the church.

It can only be that the legions are too strong and the church cannot kill them, so they can be allowed to roam the continent.

However, the power of the church is relatively strong within the empire, and other countries and regions on the mainland may not care about this.

Anyway, no one is stupid enough to provoke a legion that has been fighting since the ancient empire.

Hamlet was still efficient. When the legion entered the city, a smart person had been arranged to lead the way.

Baldwin and his men could not show up. They had to hide behind the scenes. If something happened, they would take action. Otherwise, the situation would only get more and more chaotic.

Fortunately, although the legion was silent, they did not mean to hurt anyone. Instead, they followed the guidance to bypass the bustling central square and continued to march towards the ruins.

"The cultists have special physiques but will also be exhausted, and they seem to be tireless." William noticed that those people were holding square shields instead of carrying them on their backs, let alone putting them on the ground.

"The steps are like a whole. I am not sure I can defeat them." Baldwin was also quite confident in his own strength, but he also sighed when he saw this scene.

"Hamlet is not fighting alone." Greendale reminded calmly.

To be honest, she did not like what Baldwin said. The lord did not relax because of this reason when he handed Hamlet to us.

If one person cannot win, won't he call for help? If the gun is not good, then use the cannon. If anyone dares to make trouble, Greendale will directly use it as fertilizer for the flowers.

Compared to the legion that was secretly watched, more extraordinary people were hiding among ordinary people and observing this unique place.

Their first impression was that everything belonging to the church was eliminated here. There was no luxurious church, no noble and domineering clergy, and people here only cared about the rules set by the lord.

For most of their retail investors, although the rules were cumbersome, at least they would no longer worry about the church's judges coming to BBQ.

There was also discomfort at the beginning, but they soon got used to it. As long as they didn't want to make trouble, it was basically the same as normal life, and even easier.

Outside the tavern, there was a clown in strange costumes playing the piano, his fingertips dancing on the strings, and even his body seemed to move with it.

The brisk rhythm seemed to have magic, making those onlookers reluctant to leave, with a faint smile on their faces.

Until the end of the song, the clown bowed with the lute, and the onlookers applauded and cheered, followed by scattered copper coins thrown into the piano bag on the ground.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and the clown collected the tips in the bag. It looked like only a dozen copper coins, but it was even higher than the income in those big cities.

Suddenly he felt something and looked up. A figure wrapped in rags walked by. The two glanced at each other, but the other party did not react much, just tightened the rags that were a little thin in the autumn wind.

But both sides had already felt something. There was no doubt that more and more extraordinary people came here...
